Firefox opens new window on my secondary monitor

[Ryan700]

I don't know how it happened but now every time I open the Firefox browser the window opens on my secondary monitor. I move that window to my primary and open a new window and it opens in my second monitor. How do I change it back?

in your profile folder, not firefox.app folder.

try moving in back and forth then restart it. also what version are you using? have you checked for updates?

Did a search for localstore.rdf on my computer and all that came up were backup file from my windows machine. I can't even find a profile folder on my mac.

I am using the latest update. I've tried back and forth and closing and opening and nothing seems to be working.

search for "localstore.rdf" in Finder's search with the "System Files - Include" search parameter added.

Thanks. I just need to go back to the link and see if I lose everything (bookmarks,history Etc.)

you can goto bookmark manage and do a backup. (not backup bookmark, but backup library)

there is an addon "password exporter" you can use it to backup your passwords.

I checked the instructions at the link and realized (duh) I have time machine installed and restored the file expecting to lose maybe a few book marks but it seems I didn't lose any. And it's working properly now! Yay! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
